WHAT SOME OF THOSE BOARD MEMBERS ADMITTED TO NOT DOING DURING THE LAST VOTE. THEN CRACKING DOWN ON GHOST GUNS. YORK CITY POLICE SHARE WHAT THE MAIN PROBLEM IS. ALSO MAIL IN BALLOT ISSUES. WHY HUNDREDS OF VOTERS IN LANCASTER COUNTY DID NOT HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. IT IS THURSDAY, APRIL 25TH. I’M REGINA REGINA AHN. I’M KATELYN SMITH. LET’S GO OVER TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA TO GET A CHECK ON OUR FORECAST TODAY. A LITTLE COOLER TODAY A LITTLE COOLER TODAY. ABOUT TEN DEGREES COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. ACTUALLY, AND NOT AS BREEZY. SO LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE HAVE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE ON OUR STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. THINGS HAVE BEEN QUIET OVERNIGHT. ANY SHOWERS THAT WE HAD YESTERDAY HAVE QUIETED DOWN AND THE WIND HAS DIED DOWN A BIT TOO. CURRENTLY WE HAVE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND THAT’S ALLOWING SOME TEMPERATURES TO DROP. WE DO HAVE THAT FROSTED’S FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE PA TURNPIKE TONIGHT OR THIS MORNING RATHER. AND WE ARE SEEING TEMPERATURES IN SOME SPOTS DROPPING INTO THE 30S. THE REST OF THE AREA IN THE 40S, NOT UNDER THAT ADVISORY. SO WINDS, CLOUDS HAVE KEPT SOME TEMPERATURES UP OVERNIGHT. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR NEXT 12 HOURS. WE GO TO 58 DEGREES. QUITE A CHANGE FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WE WON’T HIT THE 60S TODAY, BUT IT WILL STILL BE A NICE ONE WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT SUNSHINE FOR TOMORROW COMING UP IN MY FULL FORECAST. CHRISTINE. THANK YOU. THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY SCHOOL BOARD IS NOW REVERSING ITS DECISION TO CANCEL AN ANTI-BULLYING PRESENTATION BY AN OPENLY GAY ACTOR AND AUTHOR. THE INITIAL DECISION TO CANCEL MALIK ALI’S VISIT WAS MADE AFTER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER WHAT THEY CALLED HIS, QUOTE, LIFESTYLE AND ACTIVISM, SAYING THAT THEY WORRIED IT WOULD BECOME A POLITICAL EVENT. BUT LAST NIGHT, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, AS YOU SEE HERE, SHOWED UP FOR THIS SPECIAL MEETING AFTER DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, PARENTS AND STUDENTS RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE BOARD’S DECISION. YOU CAN SEE SOME PASSIONATE PEOPLE THERE. SOME BOARD MEMBERS ADMITTED THEY RUSHED INTO THAT VOTE BEFORE DOING THEIR RESEARCH. SO THEY VOTED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS TIME IT WAS A 5 TO 4 DECISION TO REINSTATE PANCHOLI’S VISIT. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY THEY WANTED TO FIX THEIR PREVIOUS MISTAKE. I’M SORRY. OUR ACTIONS ON APRIL 15TH MADE SOME OF OUR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND COMMUNITY FEEL DIFFERENT AND NOT ACCEPTED. I HOPE THAT TONIGHT’S MEETING WILL HELP RESOLVE OUR DIFFERENCES AND BRING OUR DISTRICT, OUR COMMUNITY, STAFF, AND ESPECIALLY OUR STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD AND COME TOGETHER AS ONE. THE ANTI BULLYING ASSEMBLY IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR MAY 22ND AT MOUNTAIN VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL. STUDENTS WHO DO NOT WISH TO ATTEND WILL BE GIVEN ANOTHER OPTION IN HARRISBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVER HAS APPROVED THE SAFE PASSAGES PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM INVOLVES BRINGING IN NINE ADULTS FROM THE COMMUNITY TO MONITOR STUDENTS IN THE CAFETERIA DURING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN CLASSES AND AT DISMISSAL. IT’S AN EFFORT TO PREVENT VIOLENT BEHAVIOR AMONG STUDENTS. A YORK CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE IS NOW CONSIDERING AN ORDINANCE TO CRACK DOWN ON GHOST GUNS. YORK CITY POLICE HEARD THE PRESENTATION BY CEASEFIRE. PA AND SAY THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE GUNS IS THAT THEY ARE HARD TO TRACE, BUT EASY TO GET AHOLD OF. SO IF YOU’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF BUYING AN UNFINISHED FIREARM KIT, WHICH ALSO IS KNOWN AS A GHOST GUN KIT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEE TO DO SO. AND IF YOU WISH TO SELL IN ORDER FOR YOU TO SELL IT, THAT PERSON WHO’S BUYING IT HAS TO HAVE A FEDERAL FIREARM LICENSE. AND THE SAME THING FOR TRANSFERS. YORK POLICE SAY IN 2022, THERE WERE 22 TIMES WHEN GHOST GUNS WERE RECOVERED, AND THEY WERE RECOVERED 19 TIMES IN 2023. A MAN WHO POLICE SAY SHOT THREE PEOPLE, INCLUDING A FOUR YEAR OLD CHILD, LAST SEPTEMBER IN HARRISBURG, IS NOW IN CUSTODY. THE U.S. MARSHALS RELEASED VIDEO OF THE ARREST OF 47 YEAR-OLD SEAN JASON. HE WAS ARRESTED AT A HOTEL IN PHILADELPHIA. THE MARSHALS SAY FOR A MONTH THEY HAD BEEN INVESTIGATING WHETHER JASON WAS IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA, AND THEY LEARNED HE HAD CHECKED INTO A HOTEL. JASON FACES THREE COUNTS OF ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE IN CONNECTION TO THE SHOOTING. SEPTEMBER NINTH ON NORTH STREET. INVESTIGATORS SAY AFTER A DISPUTE WITH NEIGHBORS JASON SHOT THE THREE VICTIMS. JASON WAS ALSO CHARGED WITH ARMED ROBBERY IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. IT’S FOR 34, AND A MAN RIDING A MOTORCYCLE WAS KILLED IN A THREE VEHICLE CRASH IN FRANKLIN COUNTY. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 8:00 YESTERDAY MORNING ON ROUTE 11 AT MOLLY PITCHER HIGHWAY IN ANTRIM TOWNSHIP. 30 YEAR-OLD ZACHARY DAILEY WAS HEADING SOUTH WHEN AN SUV NEXT TO HIM SWITCHED LANES AND COLLIDED WITH THE MOTORCYCLE. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS THEN HIT BY ANOTHER SUV AND WENT OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A UTILITY POLE. NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT. LANCASTER COUNTY ELECTION OFFICIALS SAY TUESDAY’S PRIMARY WENT SMOOTHLY, BUT THERE’S STILL HUNDREDS OF VOTERS WHO DIDN’T HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED DUE TO MISTAKES ON THEIR MAIL IN BALLOTS. THE CHAIR OF THE ELECTIONS BOARD, RAY D’AGOSTINO, SAYS ABOUT 300 OF THE NEARLY 21,000 MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE RECEIVED HAD SOME ISSUES THERE. THE BALLOTS WERE SET ASIDE WITH THEIR VOTES NOT COUNTING AND D’AGOSTINO SAYS GUIDANCE ISSUED IN AN EMAIL FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SUGGESTED ELECTIONS WORKERS COULD COUNT BALLOTS WITH MISTAKES, BUT THAT RUNS CONTRARY TO THE LAW AND RECENT COURT DECISIONS. I COULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I WILL THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SHOULD KNOW BETTER. QUITE FRANKLY, BECAUSE THE DATE THAT THAT MATTERS, THE YEAR MATTERS. SO NOW THEY’RE SAYING IT DOESN’T. THAT’S JUST THAT’S UNFORTUNATE, QUITE FRANKLY. AND D’AGOSTINO ADDS, ELECTION TURNOUT ENDED UP BEING ABOUT 29%, WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR A PRIMARY. UPMC IS CUTTING ABOUT 1000 JOBS, OR ABOUT 1% OF ITS WORKFORCE. A SPOKESPERSON SAYS THE LAYOFFS ARE SYSTEMWIDE, MAINLY AMONG NON-CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. NOW, SOME OF THOSE CUTS WILL INCLUDE ALSO CLOSING OPEN POSITIONS. IN A STATEMENT, THE SPOKESPERSON SAYS THE ENTIRE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY CONTINUES TO FACE THE REALITIES OF A STILL EVOLVING POST-PANDEMIC MARKETPLACE. THIS WEEK IS NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS RIGHTS WEEK, AND TONIGHT IN YORK COUNTY, THE 38TH ANNUAL CRIME VICTIMS RIGHTS MARCH AND CANDLELIGHT VIGIL WILL BE HELD. THE EVENT WILL BEGIN AT 7:00 OUTSIDE OF THE COLONIAL COURTHOUSE ON WEST MARKET STREET AND THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A MARCH TO TRINITY UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST, WHERE COMMUNITY SERVICES AND CRIME SURVIVORS WILL SPEAK. ANYONE IN ATTENDANCE MAY LIGHT A CANDLE IN REMEMBRANCE AND HONOR OF A LOVED ONE. ANOTHER WALK TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS ONE HAPPENED YESTERDAY. THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE HELD ITS 23RD ANNUAL VICTIMS RIGHTS RALLY AND ONE MILE WALK LAST NIGHT IN CARLISLE. THIS YEAR’S THEME WAS OPTIONS, SERVICES AND HOPE FOR CRIME SURVIVORS. HOW WOULD YOU HELP IS SETTING THE TONE FOR HONORING VICTIM SERVICES VOLUNTEERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THAT EVENT RAISES AWARENESS ABOUT CRIME, VICTIMS RIGHTS AND ALSO GIVES I
